Freefly Pop-N-Lock Refresh Kit

The Freefly Pop-N-Lock Refresh Kit is an essential maintenance and service accessory designed to restore the pristine performance and secure locking capability of the Pop-N-Lock mechanism found on various Freefly MōVI gimbal stabilizers and related accessories. Over time, heavy use can lead to wear on these critical contact points, and this kit provides the necessary components to bring them back to factory-new condition.

The “Pop-N-Lock” system is Freefly’s innovative, tool-less quick-release mechanism widely used on MōVI gimbals for features like the camera quick release plate, pan axis clamp, or other adjustable points. It provides a robust, positive lock that ensures your camera payload or gimbal components remain absolutely secure during dynamic operation.

The Pop-N-Lock Refresh Kit typically includes:

• Replacement Friction Pads/Inserts: These are the critical contact surfaces that provide grip and prevent slippage when the Pop-N-Lock lever is engaged. They are usually made of durable, high-friction materials that can wear down with repeated use.
• Replacement Screws and Hardware: Fresh fasteners ensure secure reassembly and prevent stripping.
• Replacement Springs (if applicable): To restore the precise tension and “pop” action of the locking lever.
• Replacement Wear Plates (if applicable): Any metal or composite plates that experience friction during the locking action.
